    Excellent selection of cocktails and drinks, with happy hour 2 for 1 (same drink). The Piña Colada were delicious and well made. For food, we had starter sized Laksa the tofu and the chicken ones which were hot, rich and slightly spicy. For mains we had the Blackened Monks Noodles with sweetcorn fritter balls and the Yum Yum Salad with grilled beef. All meals were delicious I would recommend! Lost star only because the service was very slow, staff seemed to not be very attentive to their customers.

    Great time at Banana Tree with my family, we hadn't been for a while and it was as we remembered. We had a new waitress serve us who was lovely and gave us great recommendations on what to order and her favourites and Marina helped us getting the bill at the end. Thank you once again, we will definitely be back!

    My friend and I were quite surprised to discover that there was only one waiter serving the entire restaurant during our bottomless brunch on Friday and no bartender until later on in the day. It's unfortunate that we have to rate the brunch experience so low, but Silvio, our waiter, was a true trooper and the food was great. Despite being the only staff member, he maintained a great vibe and tried his best making drinks. Silvio even extended our brunch and treated us to a shot, knowing that the brunch fell short of the usual standard. While I'd like to believe that this isn't reflective of their typical service, we left this time feeling disappointed and don't plan to return to the branch.

    Such a wonderful restaurant. Great seating, clean. I had the loveliest server called Victoria - she was brilliant. Gave me a fantastic recommendation for late lunch/ early dinner. Felt really luck to be there at happy hour! The portions of food are generous and delicious! Have return again since then- the portions are wonderfully generous. The Vietnamese coffee tastes great too! Definitely recommend this restaurant!

    Lovely food, lively atmosphere, quick service, reasonably priced for London. I say this because if you're not a Londoner you might find the cocktails pricey but they do have happy hour so there's that! Anyway, back to the point, I've been to 2 different locations, great both times! Definitely recommend.

    Me and my friends had a great time at this Banna Tree branch we were staying not more than 10 minutes from it which led it to becoming a sort of meet up spot for me and my friends. We were only in London for one week often going quite far from our accommodation during the day despite this we came back to banna tree 4 or 5 times for lunchs or dinners. The 2 for 1 cocktail deals, nice and accommodating staff and prettey great food led to us always coming back for more. Piece of advice try their pandan pancakes they're heaven on the taste buds.

    Good food, enjoyed all of our dishes - nice place to hangout with friends. Cocktails are reasonably priced, food portions are also pretty decent. Fun and lively place, good to reserve. Service however wasn’t at its best - they keep missing things in our order and giving us wrong items including the bill. I wasn’t fully impressed or maybe it was an off day with less people serving.

    Went to Banana Tree in West Hampstead and mainly ordered from their lunch menu. The food and drinks were nice. It was quite busy at lunch time, and there only seemed to be one waitress who was very nice, and friendly. Food wise it was nice flavours and good presentation. I have an allergy and was asked about this, as were those at my table, which I appreciated. My down point is that I do not think it is good at sitting a larger party. There was 5 of us and had to sit at 2 tables next to each other; whilst this is fine at lunch, if it were busier in the evening I think it would be harder to manage. The tables could not be put together and the largest table I saw was a table for 4. There are some stairs (maybe 3) for a couple of tables, so if that is an issue u may want to book and specify. I was pleased we were able to eat here, as we had travelled and met there, on the basis that their menu looked good.

    Amazing food ,I have been to a few of their branches but am a bit of a regular at West Hampstead - the food and service is always great point. Also the best peanut sauce I have ever tasted Chef Aamir and his staff doing fantastic work. A big thumbs up 👍🏻

    Got the 2 course lunch special. Ordered the Chicken Laksa soup, and the stir fry chicken main. The soup was really tasty and flavorful, but has quite a kick to it, so it will warm you up on a cold day, but if you're not a fan of spicy food then skip this one. The stir fry chicken was pretty good(a little bit on the sweet side), it also came with white rice and a small kinda bland salad. but I'd probably try the green curry or massaman curry if I go back. Was about £18 quid(with tax) for the 2 course lunch special.

    Great service, really good offer and comfortable food. Moreover prices are wallet-friendly. The restaurant provides favorable discounts and free Wi-Fi connection. I was very delighted to try these indochine specials with counted calories. Faboulous taste. Definitely recommend this place.

    Loved Melissa! She was such a great waitress and made my birthday so special. Got complimentary birthday dessert too 😁

  • 5/5 Lucas Alexandre P. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly the food was fantastic! Really friendly waiters and waitresses! I shout out yo Andrei and Mia for doing such a good job of serving our table. They gave great suggestions and even brought us water at the right time. It was my graduation dinner and it ticked all the boxes. Thanks guys for an absolutely lovely dinner. I can't wait to come back soon! 🔥🔥🔥

    Really good experience. Muhammad the waiter was friendly & attentive. 2 4 1 cocktails are always a good idea on a Friday evening,! Great food! Had satay chicken with sticky rice parcels as a starter to share. Great dish, good combination of tastes. I had the duck yum yum salad which was great, fresh, light and filling, which is what I wanted as it was a hot evening. My friend had a prawn and noodle dish. Very tasty and very filling too. Definitely worth a visit!

    Nice food for a casual lunch. Staff is friendly but the food was quite simple, not super special

  • 5/5 Sarra S. 5 months ago on Google
    Sophia was our waitress and took care of our very loud family (with grace and patience may I add). Amazing service as one of our members had a severe peanut allergy and she made us feel very comfortable. Food was lovely as always and an overall pleasant experience.

    Greta Thai food for vegans and vegetarians! Love that nearly 40% of their menu is vegan/veg friendly. The service was quick and we enjoyed our food. It's an easy walk-in vibe with good food and Andrei served us well!

  • 1/5 Tofu S. 3 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    Ordered two dishes sechuan tofu and broccoli delivery. First impression : smallest dishes I ever ordered . Taste: too sugary and lame taste. Not even close to a real sechuan dish . Very disappointed , if I had eaten in the restaurant I would have returned the dish. The tofu meat was the spongy deep fried kind - not the tastiest tofu you can eat. This was the first and last time I tried this restaurant.

    Food was decent, I enjoyed the starters a lot and the portion size of the main course was good. I found the quantity of the rice to be lacking a little bit otherwise everything was good
